Did you know that America does not ban horse slaughtering? But, why, when virtually no one eats horse meat in this country? Bonnie Boime, of St. Louis Animal Rights Team (START) and host Don Fitz discuss how horse slaughtering can ruin the environment and economy of a town where a plant is located. They ask if laws truly require the humane slaughter of horses, how many jobs are really created, and how we can protect horses and communities from the practice. This Green Time (No. 444) features the movies “Horse Slaughter” and “Horse Dallas Crown.” It is produced by the Gateway Greens in conjunction with KNLC Channel 24.

http://knlc.tv/west-lake-landfill-the-true-story-bob-criss-and-ed-smith-on-green-time-tv-2/#commentsFri, 17 Oct 2014 16:21:23 +0000http://knlc.tv/?p=2830Why is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) holding back information on radioactive waste in the West Lake Landfill? Why have they not properly investigated it? Why have no criminal charges been filed against those responsible? Dr. Bob Criss, of Washington University’s Department of Earth and Planetary Science, and Ed Smith, Safe Energy Director of the Missouri Coalition for the Environment, discuss many problems, including the possibility that an adjacent smoldering fire in underground garbage could move into the unlined radwaste dump. Republic Services has publicly accused Dr. Criss of “causing fear,” while EPA has claimed he is incorrect about flood risk and groundwater contamination.

Dr. Criss explains that location in a flood plain and earthquake zone could strongly affect radioactive releases. Radiation is known to increase the likelihood of leukemia 38-fold and decrease the proportion of male babies born. The waste in West Lake Landfill will actually increase its radioactivity for at least 9,000 years. What can citizens do to counter the lack of transparency by the EPA regarding waste from the first nuclear experiments and bombs? This Green Time (No. 443) features portions of “Big Picture: Atomic Battlefield.” It is produced by the Gateway Greens in conjunction with KNLC Channel 24.

For years, tires have been considered a hazardous waste. But now, they are being ground up for rubber mulch to be put on children’s playgrounds and used in yards. Donna Jones, Elected Member of St. Louis School Board, and University City resident Rachel Slaughter discuss dangers of rubber mulch with host Don Fitz. They cover a variety of toxins and look at why government would encourage the use of rubber mulch.

http://knlc.tv/passive-house-the-idea-ralph-wafer-and-gary-steps-on-green-time-tv/#commentsFri, 22 Aug 2014 17:15:26 +0000http://knlc.tv/?p=2622In 2013, St. Louis saw the construction of its first Passive House, a home that does not require central heating. It is so well designed, insulated, and airtight that it uses about 90% less energy than similar buildings. Interior surfaces are room temperature with no hot or cold drafts. Architect and planner Ralph Wafer and Gary Steps, of Butterfly Energy Works, discuss how they designed the home with the floor plan the owners wanted. The building produces more energy than it uses. Hot water for cooking, cleaning, and bathing is delivered by a small solar thermal system. The air exchange radically improves the cleanliness of the inbound air, while protecting the temperature and humidity. It is highly tornado and earthquake resistant. This Green Time (No. 439) features “Passive House Revolution.” It is produced by the Gateway Greens in conjunction with KNLC Channel 24. Call 314-727-8554 or contact don@greentime.tv for info.

Have you heard of the NAACP’s new report “Just Energy Policies: Reducing Pollution & Creating Jobs?” Adolphus Pruitt, Chair of the St. Louis City branch of the NAACP, and Sam Cummings, of the Missouri Sierra Club Executive Committee, discuss the report’s call for clean energy policies with host John Hickey. Reducing air pollution is critical because childhood asthma is epidemic in the African American community. This could be due to 68% of African Americans’ living within 30 miles of a coal-fired power plant. The clean energy field may bring jobs to the African American community. This Green Time (No. 453) includes the short movies “Asheville Beyond Coal – Green Jobs” and “The Cost of Coal: Michigan.” It is produced by the Gateway Greens in conjunction with KNLC Channel 24.

Marilyn Lorenz, of Interfaith Committee on Latin America, and Karen Wilson, of Joining Hands Network, discuss dangers of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership. They describe how it could allow foreign lawsuits to overturn domestic courts and expand extractive industries. This could push poor people off their land and cause enormous environmental harm.

Bonnie Boime, of the St. Louis Animal Rights Team, describes the horrific conditions in Confined Animal Feeding Operations. Government regulations do not ensure that farm animals are treated humanely. What about “cage free” eggs and grass fed beef? What is the difference between a vegan & a vegetarian? Is it healthy for people to avoid animal products? Is it more expensive to eat a vegan diet? What does eating meat have to do with climate change?
